Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) moved on Thursday to strike article one from the impeachment articles introduced against President Donald Trump this week.

Article one accuses Trump of abusing the office of the presidency, including “using his powers of his high office” to “solicit the interference of a foreign government, Ukraine, in the” 2020 U.S. election.
